00:09:37if we're really doing this

00:09:40i'm listening
00:09:41first
00:09:42your money stays yours
00:09:43i don't want anyone thinking i'm a gold digger
00:09:45i can do that
00:09:46second
00:09:46boundaries
00:09:47we respect each other's space
00:09:49mutual respect
00:09:50minimal meddling
00:09:51and third
00:09:52my son never had a mom
00:09:53when we're married
00:09:54treat him like your own
00:09:58deal
00:09:59i agree to all of it
00:10:00now before you find any more rules
00:10:02let's go
00:10:07this is moving so fast
00:10:09speed is the new romance
00:10:11all the kids are doing it
00:10:12you gotta keep up with the times
00:10:15maybe i'm just old-fashioned that way
00:10:17but hey at least it's legally binding
00:10:19a good sense of humor too huh
00:10:20you're the real deal
00:10:21i'm full of surprises
00:10:23oh
00:10:24that reminds me
00:10:31for me
00:10:32just
00:10:33a little something

00:38:09handed over to
00:38:09Don Moretti
00:38:11Mr. Reed
00:38:12are you sure
00:38:13there must be some mistake
00:38:14no mistake
00:38:15I was there
00:38:16when the auction happened
00:38:17I saw it with my own eyes
00:38:19how did this piece
00:38:21come to be
00:38:21in your possession
00:38:23Michael
00:38:24gave it to me
00:38:26bullshit
00:38:27why would a tribute
00:38:28meant for Don Moretti
00:38:29end up with some loser
00:38:30like you
00:38:31how did you get it
00:38:32just a little something
00:38:34someone gave me
00:38:34no big deal
00:38:35no big deal
00:38:37that necklace
00:38:38is worth over
00:38:39two billion dollars
00:38:40and you're calling it
00:38:41no big deal
00:38:42you're saying
00:38:43someone gave it to you
00:38:44who
00:38:45and don't tell me
00:38:46it was Sophia Marlin
00:38:48president of
00:38:49Desert Crown Holdings
00:38:50actually you're right
00:38:51it was indeed Sophia
00:38:52who gave it to me
00:39:01dad this guy's a temp worker
00:39:03bottom of the food chain
00:39:04how would someone like him
00:39:06know any president
00:39:07that necklace
00:39:08he's stolen
00:39:10Anthony I've known his family
00:39:12for five years
00:39:13trust me
00:39:15they're nobodies
00:39:17there's no way that's legitimate
00:39:19interesting theory
00:39:20and it would take real balls
00:39:22to steal from Desert Crown Holdings
00:39:24some people are poor but honest
00:39:27but stealing something that valuable
00:39:29that's just pathetic
00:39:32that's enough
00:39:33my father is not a thief
00:39:36thank god
00:39:37I dumped you when I did
00:39:39otherwise I'd be going down
00:39:40with this train wreck
00:39:41stealing from Desert Crown
00:39:43you two are finished
00:39:46I trust Michael completely
00:39:48and I'm certain there's a perfectly reasonable explanation
00:39:52perhaps you should clarify things
00:39:55clarify what's there to clarify
00:39:57it was a gift
00:39:59a gift
00:40:04right
00:40:04what's next
00:40:06you're going to tell us
00:40:07you're Don Moretti himself
00:40:10stranger things have happened
00:40:17unbelievable
00:40:18first he steals the ocean heart
00:40:20now he's claiming to be Don Moretti
00:40:22old man
00:40:23you've completely lost it
00:40:25a senior executive of Desert Crown
00:40:27you just signed your own death warrant
00:40:29the Don's been in the shadows for years
00:40:31but that doesn't give every two-bit nobody
00:40:34the right to use his name
00:40:35I was willing to overlook your disrespect earlier
00:40:38but the ocean heart
00:40:39you better have a damn good explanation
00:40:41or this ends badly for you
00:40:43dad forget talking
00:40:45let's handle this now
00:40:46guards
00:40:54president heart
00:40:56perfect timing
00:40:57stand your ground
00:40:59Evelyn
00:41:00what the hell do you think you're doing
00:41:01you're protecting a thief
00:41:03I'm protecting an innocent man
00:41:05from a witch hunt
00:41:06possession of stolen property
00:41:08I have every right
00:41:08stolen
00:41:09you're making accusations
00:41:10without a shred of proof
00:41:11the proof
00:41:12is hanging around your neck
00:41:14so that's how it is
00:41:15you're choosing to go to war
00:41:17with Desert Crown Holdings
00:41:19you're really gonna war
00:41:21with Desert Crown
00:41:21for this piece of trash
00:41:22Evelyn
00:41:23are you stupid
00:41:24or just completely brainless
00:41:26now Brandon
00:41:27that's not fair
00:41:28if she were really that stupid
00:41:30could she have built
00:41:30Meridian Ventures
00:41:32my guess
00:41:33she's just desperate
00:41:34for a man
00:41:35you'd really go up
00:41:36against Desert Crown
00:41:37for me
00:41:39we're husband and wife
00:41:40we rise together
00:41:41we fall together
00:41:43besides I know
00:41:44you didn't do
00:41:44what they're accusing you of
00:41:46can we talk this through
00:41:48for a second
00:41:48stay out of this
00:41:50we've still got
00:41:51our own score
00:41:51to settle
00:41:54you're accusing Mr. Smith
00:41:56of stealing the ocean heart
00:41:57where's your proof
00:41:58proof?
00:41:59it's obvious
00:42:00are you suggesting
00:42:01I'm framing him?
00:42:02I'm saying there's one person
00:42:03who knows the truth
00:42:04why don't we ask her
00:42:07you mean
00:42:08President Marlowe?
00:42:10exactly
00:42:11let her settle this
00:42:12if Sophia shows up
00:42:14and I've recovered
00:42:15the ocean heart
00:42:18she'll owe me
00:42:19maybe even take me
00:42:21to meet the Don himself
00:42:29what could Anthony Reed
00:42:31possibly want from me?
00:42:37President Marlowe
00:42:38Mr. Reed
00:42:39is confronting the Don
00:42:40he's threatening to kill him
00:42:43what?
00:42:45let's go
00:42:45now
00:42:51just wait until
00:42:53President Marlowe
00:42:53walks through that door
00:42:56none of you
00:42:57are walking out of here
00:42:58especially you
00:42:59Evelyn
00:43:01a small time operation
00:43:03like Meridian Ventures
00:43:04challenging Desert Crown
00:43:06you'll regret this
00:43:07for the rest of your life
00:43:10I won't regret a thing
00:43:13Anthony
00:43:13you're the one
00:43:14who's gonna have regrets
00:43:15better start thinking about
00:43:16how you'll explain yourself
00:43:18when Sophia gets here
00:43:21still running your mouth?
00:43:23you really don't know
00:43:24when to quit
00:43:25do you?
00:43:26dad
00:43:26why are we waiting?
00:43:27let me break this old bastard's knees
00:43:28and make him crawl out of here
00:43:30like a dog
00:43:30send a message about what happens
00:43:32when you mess with Desert Crown
00:43:34patience son
00:43:34an audience with the president
00:43:36is an opportunity
00:43:38as for his fate

00:43:42isn't just destroying you
00:43:44you're taking down

00:43:59who's about to be ruined

00:44:52this man has zero respect
00:44:55for Desert Crown's authority
00:44:56you need to make an example
00:44:58out of him
00:45:00they're lying

00:45:15this properly
00:45:16and not be manipulated
00:45:17by these people
00:45:19I know exactly
00:45:20what the truth is
00:45:23what if I told you
00:45:25I did give it to him
00:45:32but how is this possible

00:45:44traffic
00:45:45you know
00:45:46what is going on
00:45:47even the president

00:45:49the president of Desert Crown Holdings
00:45:52giving him the ocean heart
00:45:54Brandon
00:45:54what if he's
00:45:55what if he's the Don

00:46:03Brandon you have to fix this
00:46:05fix it
00:46:06there's nothing to fix
00:46:07we're all going down
00:46:10Michael
00:46:11who are you really
00:46:12dad
00:46:14are you the Don of Desert Crown
00:46:16the Don
00:46:17me
00:46:18come on
00:46:18I can barely manage
00:46:19my cleaning supplies
00:46:20then explain how the president
00:46:22gave you the ocean heart
00:46:24she answers to one person
00:46:26the Don
00:46:27dad
00:46:30why don't we let
00:46:31President Marlon explain
00:46:33tell them why you gave me
00:46:34the ocean heart
00:46:38the Don still wants to stay hidden
00:46:40but how am I supposed
00:46:41to explain this
00:46:45well
00:46:46Mr. Smith here
00:46:47provided exceptional service
00:46:48as a hotel staff member
00:46:50I was so impressed
00:46:51that I rewarded him
00:46:52with the ocean heart
00:46:57that's it
00:46:58I heard Desert Crown
00:46:59acquired the ocean heart
00:47:00at enormous cost
00:47:02specifically as a gift
00:47:03for the Don
00:47:03the Don of Desert Crown
00:47:05possesses wealth
00:47:06beyond imagination
00:47:07trillions
00:47:08something like the ocean heart
00:47:10probably just a trinket to him
00:47:12wouldn't you agree
00:47:13President Marlon
00:47:17absolutely
00:47:18the Don would barely notice
00:47:19something like this
00:47:23thank god
00:47:24he's not the Don
00:47:26the ocean heart
00:47:27as a reward
00:47:28for good customer service
00:47:29he just got insanely lucky
00:47:30the Don operates
00:47:31in complete secrecy
00:47:32you really thought
00:47:32we'd just stumble across it
00:47:33Mr. Reid
00:47:34I've received reports
00:47:35that you've been embezzling
00:47:36corporate funds
00:47:36for personal gain
00:47:37the evidence is compelling
00:47:39take him into custody
00:47:48President Marlott
00:47:49could you wait a moment
00:47:51is there something else
00:47:52there's a small matter
00:47:54I'd like to ask about
00:47:55if it's not too much trouble
00:47:56please Ms. Hart
00:47:57speak freely
00:47:58I'll share what I can
00:47:59I've heard that Desert Crown
00:48:00hosts a major investment conference
00:48:02every 10 years
00:48:03is that true
00:48:04it is
00:48:04the next one is in 3 months
00:48:06Desert Crown uses these conferences
00:48:07to identify the most promising company
00:48:09in the country
00:48:10then partners with them exclusively
00:48:12maximum resources
00:48:13full backing
00:48:14how do you know all this?
00:48:16just things I've picked up
00:48:18working around the casinos
00:48:18and hotels
00:48:19could be wrong though
00:48:21actually Mr. Smith's formation
00:48:23is accurate
00:48:23are you thinking of participating?
00:48:25yes
00:48:26Meridian Ventures
00:48:27has grown steadily
00:48:27but we've plateaued
00:48:28we're confined to the southwest
00:48:30with Desert Crown's backing
00:48:31we could expand nationwide
00:48:32maybe even become
00:48:33a top layer in enterprise
00:48:35ambitious
00:48:35I respect that Ms. Hart
00:48:37but the final decision
00:48:38rests solely with the dawn
00:48:42I'm probably dreaming
00:48:44the competition will be insane
00:48:46there are dozens of companies
00:48:47Morris established
00:48:48the Meridian Ventures
00:48:50my chances are slim at best
00:48:52don't sell yourself short
00:48:54you have one advantage
00:48:56none of them possess
00:48:58what advantage?
00:49:02what do you mean?
00:49:04Evelyn
00:49:04I'm certain you'll succeed
00:49:08but it's getting late
00:49:09we should let her go
00:49:10right
00:49:11of course
00:49:13President Marla
00:49:14thank you for your time
00:49:15I'll see you at the investment conference
00:49:21oh I almost forgot
00:49:23I found us a new place

00:49:28moving in together already?
00:49:30well

00:49:43alright then
00:49:44let's go
00:49:58so what do you think
00:50:00of the neighborhood?
00:50:01quite nice
00:50:03but these homes
00:50:04must be expensive
00:50:07comfort isn't cheap
00:50:10besides I'm paying
00:50:12why worry?
00:50:16makes me feel a little
00:50:17like dead weight
00:50:19nonsense
00:50:20just sit back
00:50:21and enjoy the good fortune
00:50:22while it lasts
00:50:27I think I left my phone
00:50:28in the car
00:50:29our place is just ahead
00:50:30of this path here
00:50:31number one
00:50:33I'll catch up in a minute
00:50:34alright
00:50:46Michael?
00:50:48Linda Carter
00:50:49is that you?
00:50:50what are the odds?
00:50:51it's been years
00:50:57Linda
00:50:57who is this?
00:51:01an old high school classmate
00:51:0320 years ago
00:51:04he was popular
00:51:05back then
00:51:06all the girls
00:51:06had crushes on him
00:51:07but from what I've heard
00:51:08he hasn't exactly
00:51:09set the world on fire
00:51:10no real job to speak of
00:51:11still bitter
00:51:12about me turning you down
00:51:13huh?
00:51:14bitter?
00:51:15please
00:51:15I'd completely forgotten
00:51:16until you brought it up
00:51:17I must have been blind
00:51:18back then
00:51:19school popularity
00:51:20doesn't pay the bills
00:51:21reality has a way
00:51:22of humbling people
00:51:24so Michael
00:51:25what are you doing
00:51:26here exactly?
00:51:27how did security
00:51:27even let you in?
00:51:29this is an exclusive
00:51:30community
00:51:31let me in?
00:51:32I live here
00:51:36you're joking
00:51:37you live here?
00:51:38do you have any idea
00:51:39what kind of people
00:51:40can afford this place?
00:51:41this is Cloud Heights
00:51:43the most exclusive
00:51:44community in Nevada
00:51:45every homeowner here
00:51:46is either wealthy
00:51:47or connected
00:51:47so take a good look
00:51:48in the mirror
00:51:49do you really think
00:51:50you belong?
00:51:50I have no reason to lie
00:51:52it took us decades
00:51:53of hard work
00:51:54and the right connections
00:51:55just to afford
00:51:55the smallest lot
00:51:56in this place
00:51:56so if you really live here
00:51:58Michael
00:51:58which house is yours?
00:52:00the big one
00:52:00at the top of the hill
00:52:01number one
00:52:03what?
00:52:06if you're gonna lie
00:52:06at least make it believable
00:52:08that estate's worth
00:52:09over a billion dollars
00:52:10money alone can't buy it
00:52:11you need connections
00:52:12at the highest levels
00:52:13but we're old classmates
00:52:14there's no need
00:52:15for this act
00:52:15if you really live
00:52:16in the biggest house here
00:52:17prove it
00:52:17I don't need to prove
00:52:18anything to you
00:52:19because you can't
00:52:20fine
00:52:20if you insist
00:52:23this ought to be good
00:52:26I thought this path
00:52:27led straight there
00:52:28it should be around
00:52:29here somewhere

00:56:46Three seconds, four seconds, five seconds.
00:56:58Nice, Ben.
00:57:12You, you can't.
00:57:19I believe you were about to leave.
00:57:22You heard my husband.
00:57:28This isn't finished, not by a long shot.
00:57:40Where did you learn to fight like that?
00:57:45Here and there.
00:57:48I can't believe you just...
00:57:50That was so dangerous.
00:57:57You ruined your clothes, too.
00:58:00Boys, come on.
00:58:01Let's get you cleaned up, tough guy.
00:58:10I'm humiliated by a damn janitor.
00:58:14I didn't want to do this, but I'm left with no choice.
00:58:22Victor?
00:58:22Yeah, about that favor you owe me.
00:58:24It's Daniel Hart.
00:58:26My sister just married some old maintenance worker, and she's still desperate for Desert
00:58:30Crown's backing.
00:58:31I was wondering if you could...
00:58:36Tonight?
00:58:37That fast?
00:58:38Perfect.
00:58:39I'll make sure she's there.
00:58:49This contact Daniel's talking about, you think they actually have pull with Desert Crown?
00:58:55Or is this just more of his usual hot air?
00:58:59It's late, Eve.
00:59:01We could do this tomorrow.
00:59:02Fresh eyes, clear heads.
00:59:06You don't get it.
00:59:07This is everything.
00:59:08If I don't take every shot I can, I'll never forgive myself.
00:59:11Here's the thing.
00:59:12From what I understand, the final call at the investment conference belongs to the Don.
00:59:16Period.
00:59:17So even if this mystery contact has connections, can they really override that?
00:59:21Maybe not.
00:59:23But I still have to try.
00:59:25Wait for me outside, okay?
00:59:26I won't be long.
00:59:42A bar?
00:59:44Seriously?
00:59:45Who meets at a place like this for business?
00:59:48You want answers?
00:59:50They're through that door.
01:00:02Allow me to introduce you to Victor Castellona, son of Desert Crown's Chancellor.
01:00:11The Chancellor's son?
01:00:19Please have a seat.
01:00:26Chancellor, I've heard of the Don and President Marlow, but this position seems new?
01:00:31Shows how much you don't know.
01:00:33The Don runs Desert Crown Holdings, but directly under him, two key positions.
01:00:38The President and the Chancellor.
01:00:42Your brother's right.
01:00:44Think of Desert Crown as more than a company.
01:00:47It's an empire.
01:00:48President Marlow handles the business side.
01:00:51The legitimate operations.
01:00:53My father?
01:00:54He manages everything else.
01:00:57The machinery that keeps the wheels turning.
01:01:01I see.
01:01:02And the investment conference?
01:01:03I can help.
01:01:04I won't promise you'll win.
01:01:07That would be dishonest.
01:01:09But I can significantly improve Meridian Ventures' odds.
01:01:14Stack the deck in your favor, so to speak.
01:01:16That would be incredible.
01:01:18Name your price.
01:01:19Whatever the outcome, you'll be compensated fairly.
01:01:22Please.
01:01:24I don't need compensation.
01:01:26I have everything money can buy.
01:01:29Consider this a gesture of friendship.
01:01:34To new partnerships and mutual success.
01:01:41The man's offering to help you crack into Desert Crown.
01:01:44The least you can do is share a drink.
01:02:03I've heard plenty about Meridian Ventures' president.
01:02:07They say you're the most beautiful woman in Las Vegas.
01:02:12But the rumors, they don't even come close.
01:02:18It's getting late.
01:02:19I should go.
01:02:22I need to get back to my home.
01:02:29The drink.
01:02:31It was...
01:02:32What's happening?
01:02:34What's wrong?
01:02:38Congratulations, boss.
01:02:40The most untouchable woman in Vegas?
01:02:43Not so untouchable anymore.
01:02:47You...
01:02:47I had to fight.
01:02:49Oh, you did more than that.
01:02:51Thanks to Michael and that bitch Sophia, I lost everything.
01:02:55My position, my reputation.
01:02:58Now, I'm even facing federal prison.
01:03:00Victor, what the hell is this?
01:03:04What's this?
01:03:05You really are as stupid as you look.
01:03:07You think Victor gives a damn about some trust fund baby with a gambling problem?
01:03:11He was never interested in you, you idiot.
01:03:14He wanted your sister.
01:03:17You.
01:03:30What's taking so long?
01:03:36Why are you doing this?
01:03:38You really need to ask.
01:03:40A woman like you, powerful, untouchable, beautiful, you made yourself irresistible.
01:03:47Victor, if you touch my sister, I'll kill you!
01:03:57I'm not just going to touch her, Daniel.
01:03:59Daniel, I'm going to make you watch every single second.
01:04:02And you're going to remember this moment for the rest of your pathetic life.
01:04:09No, please!
01:04:11Let her go!
01:04:12Shut this loser up.
01:04:14I have a husband.
01:04:16He'll find you.
01:04:18That old janitor?
01:04:20Please.
01:04:21He hasn't even touched you yet, has he?
01:04:23Which means you're still mine to claim.
01:04:25A gift, really.
01:04:26Unopened.
01:04:27No!
01:04:35Get your filthy hands off her!
01:04:40Michael.
01:04:43I have guards outside.
01:04:44How did you get in?
01:04:45Those rent-a-thugs?
01:04:46They weren't much of an obstacle.
01:04:48As a member of Desert Crown Holdings, you should know better than to act like this.
01:04:51Or aren't you afraid of what happens when the organization finds out?
01:04:55Finds out?
01:04:56About what?
01:04:57A business meeting?
01:04:58Old man, you really don't understand how this works.
01:05:00Victor's the chancellor's son.
01:05:02Nobody in Desert Crown would dare touch him.
01:05:03Nobody.
01:05:04Even President Marlin thinks twice before crossing me.
01:05:07I'm untouchable.
01:05:08What about the Don?
01:05:09The Don?
01:05:13He operates at a level so far above this, he wouldn't even notice.
01:05:18I suggest you turn around, walk out, and pretend you were never here.
01:05:35What about the Don?
01:06:03are you i'm the man you shouldn't have touched my father your father should have taught you better
01:06:10you're gonna leave las vegas tonight you're gonna tell your father that if he ever wants
01:06:14to see you again he'll stay out of my way understood
01:06:19get up we're leaving shit mike you're a beast let's talk and more moving

01:08:16and eat your breakfast
01:08:19oh stop

01:08:27michael
01:08:28be realistic
01:08:30he's the chancellor's son
01:08:31he has connections we can't match
01:08:33trust me on this
